Pan Trinbago and the National Carnival Commission (NCC) has come to a compromise in their battle over revenues from the Panorama competition.
During a hearing before Justice Vasheist Kokaram in the Port-of-Spain High Court this afternoon both parties produced a consent order on a lawsuit filed by Pan Trinbago.
In the lawsuit, the organization is claiming it is entitled to the proceeds earned from ticket sales for the semi-finals and finals of the competition, while NCC is contending it is entitled to the money due to its role in managing all national Carnival celebrations and competitions.
Under the consent order, the NCC agreed to collect the money from ticket sales and hold it in escrow until the issue is determined by Kokaram.
Pan Trinbago agreed to continue to manage both stages of the competition.
The parties were given dates for filing submission in the lawsuit and the case was adjourned to April 27 for a case management conference.
Thanks, Michael!!! Does this mean that the payment to players are going to get tied up in escrow and they have to wait months to get payment again? If that is the case they have just handed all the trumps back to UPPM -- if the UPPM were real leaders and had any real power.
PT knows how to cut deals.
I'm sure they will work to maneuver this consent order in their favour also. They've been doing this for too long and there's too much money at stake.
As stated above in the T Guardian article: everyone feels they are "entitled to the money"
The pan/carnival admins will continue riding the gravy train for all it's worth and in the end the pan players will be stuck asking "What de hell just happened?"
Michael: You are one of the few people to come on this forum and read the tea leaves. It's tragic that their eyes (the PANMEN) are deep down in the PAN(ORAMA) right now and they cannot raise their heads to see how much negotiating power they have between NOW and SUNDAY.
Sometimes on this forum I think that I am the one who is confused. But now there are at least two confused people on this issue: You and me!
